WMV and Xvid Status

We're having some issues with the Xvid and WMV encoding so the WMV and Xvids will be delayed until the situation is remedied.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

All I could hear was complaints about US gas prices.

Hey, we pay roughly $12-13/gallon here (Sweden).

Oh well, it was at least informative.

$12-13 a gallon, ouch. Sorry to hear that.

BTW, isn't the dog's name at the end (during the credits) Bingo and not Jango? At least that is what I taught my daughter. :D

About 10 bucks a gallon here (The Netherlands)


1.60 euro per liter x 1.60 dollar per euro x 3.8 liters per US gallon.

And then .. add road tax, VAT, duty, VAT over duty (yes really).
And when buying a car, add tax (19%), emissions tax, and 'luxury tax (45%)'.

If I went ahead and did the full math for, let's say, 5 years of TCO on a typical car or truck (gasoline or diesel!), I'd bet the US gas price complaints would sound petty.

Give me a brand and model name for a car available in the US and in Europe, and I'll do the math and scare you silly. And if someone then could do the same for a state, even California, we could compare prices.

Please give me a list price, and typical mileage per year, so I can do a calculation.
Then do the same, with state taxes and such included. I'd be interesting.
I'm guessing that the only factor even remotely similar is insurance.


Bani-Banan: are you sure you are using US gallon and not Imperial?

Haha yeah, who is this so-called JANGO you speak of Patrick!?!? It's BINGO!!! :)

Xvid + WMV available

All the file formats are now available. Sorry for the delay.

Jango belongs to some friends that live in Oakland... so my wife usually sings, "Our friends in Oakland have a dog and Jengo" etc. etc. to the tune of Bingo... if you're really lucky, you'll get to hear me sing the Speckled Frog song someday. It's even better than my take on the Bouncing Souls version of Born to Lose.

Glitch in the H.264 version?

At 14:27 the video freezes up, but the audio continues until 14:56, when that cuts out as well.

Anyone else experiencing this, or is it just me?

I've downloaded the file twice, played it in MediaPlayer Classic as well as Windows Media Player 11.. same results.

What all you europeans forget to factor in is that we pay our taxes in other areas and we commute far greater distances than most of you. That said, I am fully aware that if I didn't speed I would save a ton on my gas, but it is so hard to do that when i can get places in half the time.
